Los Angeles artist Paul Timman recently told Racked that finger tattoos will only last for a few years before they start fading or looking like a Rorschach test.

“Microscopic tattoos on the fingers will not work, they will not hold up, they will collapse and fall apart and look awful in two to three years time," he said. "You will be stuck with a blob on your finger.”

From Racked:

Timman estimates he gives this speech about poorly conceived, internet-inspired tattoos roughly 10 times a day. Even still, he says only about 60 percent of the customers he’s talking to actually listen. "If you still want to give us money, we’ll do it, because we have a mortgage to pay and kids to feed, but we sleep better at night knowing we’ve told you what’s going to happen."
